British Airways Double Tier Points For Holiday Bookings Through September 30, 2023

British Airways launched double tier points offer for Holiday Package bookings ex-UK in 2021 that it has extended for the third time.

Executive Club member travel must take place through September 30, 2023, and the booking must be a minimum of five nights.

You can access this offer on BA’s website here.

Note that this does not apply to pure flight bookings but must include a car or hotel component. The offer applies to existing bookings and is also eligible on British Airways codeshares operated by partners. You must make the booking and travel by September 30, 2023.

Three caveats:

1. There booking must be a minimum of 5 nights

2. The car or hotel or both components must be for the duration of the trip

3. Most originate from the UK

And if you book a hotel as part of the Holiday package, it is not eligible for hotel loyalty program points or elite benefits.

For departures before August 24, 2021, this offer was only available for a minimum of two passengers. Now it is also valid for singles.

Conclusion

Many use British Airways Holidays as a cheap “hold” option as you don’t need to pay the “package” at the time of booking, but relatively close to the departure. In addition, you merely forfeit the small deposit if you decide not to complete the purchase.

Also, the reservation qualifies as a Holiday Booking as long as you couple the flight with at least a one-night hotel stay or book a car for a day. Sometimes BA flights can be cheaper if bought as part of a package, and nobody forces you to use the other package component (hotel or car).

This latest BA promotion only applies to genuine Holiday booking as you need to have a hotel or car for the duration of the trip.

Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:

This promotion is only open to Eligible Participants.
